The Federal Government has granted Nigerian students free subscriptions to e-learning through some selected sites in partnership with some major networks in the country.
Mr Emeka Nwajiuba, the minister of state for education, made this known during the Presidential Taskforce on COVID-19 daily press briefing in Abuja.
He said the federal government granted free subscription to students, to enable them to continue learning during the lockdown as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to him, Airtel users can browse the site for free while MTN and Glo are still adjusting their technical systems for their subscribers to access the free site. He also adds that both Radio and Television stations could also be accessed for the lecture.
He said that the online classes were conducted offline, adding that the classes could be taken in real-time if the students were online and they could also get the lectures after the classes were over if they weren’t online at the time of the lectures.
He said what the ministry was doing was to synchronise them in order to meet the yearnings of the students during the lockdown period occasioned by COVID-19.
